Young's Double Chocolate Stout Review :)

**Merp** · October 24th, 2006, 08:04 PM

Appearance - This beer pours very dark in color with a tan colored, creamy head which sticks around for quite sometime. It is a very inviting beer at first sight.

Smell - As soon as the cap comes off the first thing you will notice about this beer is the very dominate chocolate smell. Underneath the chocolate smell, you will find a hint of caramel and coffee.

Taste - Much like the smell, the first thing that is noticable is the chocolate that just seems to linger in the mouth long after swallowing. There is also a hint of hops at first but it quickly fades after a couple sips.

Mouthfeel - At first feel, the only appropriate way to describe it is to liken it to that of a chocolate milkshake. It has a very smooth and creamy feel to it that is quite appropriate for this beer.

Drinkability - Overall, this is a very pleasing stout. The chocolate aftertaste is a bit strong but it suits me perfect. I would definitely love to enjoy another one of these sometime.

Do you have any past experience with any other chocolate flavored beers to compare this to by any chance?

Well I asked because the only kind I have had was by Rogue. I'd reccomend giving it a try sometime. I'd be interested to see someone compare the two.

This beer should be compared head to head with Brooklyn Brewery's "Black Choclate Stout", which is a serious choclate stout.

Its damn good compared to Rogues Chocolate stout, and Bison's Chocolate Stout as well.

Youngs Dble Choc. Stout is in my top 3.

That sounds good...I'm gonna have to go up to the local bar today to see if they have it.

I had no idea such things existed. This is very interesting, I'm going to have to check this out!

IIRC, which I may not, this is one of the beers that Snuff sent me. I'm not at all a dark beer/stout drinker, but I was suprised at the flavor. It wasn't NEARLY as bad as I thought it would be. I shared it with my mom and she absolutely loved it. I had a couple sips then poured me the Trappist, she finished her's long before I finished mine.

If you liked that, you'll like this as well, but it's a tad pricey. Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock - Boston Beer Company (Sam Adams) - Beer Advocate
